COUPÉ BED

COUPÉ BED

Designed by Gamfratesi

Gamfratesi has designed the coupé bed for poltrona frau which, as its name suggests, pays homage to the classic padded elegance of the great sports cars.

Clean and distinct aerodynamic lines, upholstered by hand using soft pelle frau® leather, delineate an intimate and comfortable space designed for two.

Particular attention has been focused on the relationship between the headboard and the bed frame: two distinct geometric forms which, while maintaining their individuality, meet harmoniously in a subtle game of balance and power that exalts the fluid and compact lines of the overall design.

The frame of the Coupé bed, rigorous and minimalist, is softened by the precious Pelle Frau® leather upholstery which completely covers its surface.

The precious stitching converges towards the leather headboard which is made from solid beech, birch plywood and infill produced from hardboard panels, and lightly padded with polyurethane foam. The two moulded lateral parts are made from moulded polyurethane foam.

An inclusive and welcoming design that embraces the bed without overpowering it. The soft horizontal cushion in removable fabric or leather, also embroidered in the De Luxe version, becomes part of the headboard, enhancing its originality, and the different textures and materials of the upholstery underline the purity of the design and the balance of proportions.

The slender metal feet with gunmetal grey finish add extra sleekness and lightness to the structure, which is made from spruce blockboard and poplar plywood and strengthened with steel sheet structural elements painted black. The Coupé bed is suitable for bed bases and mattresses of 200 cm or 210 cm in length, with the exception of the "Queen-size" and "King-size” versions.
